Chorus:
Remember December ot fifty-nine
The howling wind and driving rain
Remember the gallant men who drowned
On the tifeboat, Mona was her name
The wind did blow and me sea rose up
Beat the land with mighty waves
At Saint Andrew's Bay the Iight ship fought
The sea until her moorings gave
Chorus
The captain signalled to the shore
"We must have help or we'll go down "
From Broughty Ferry at two a.m.
They sent the Iifeboat Mona
Chorus
Eight men formed that gallant crew
They set their boat against the main
The wind's so hard and the sea's so rough
We'll never see land or home again
Chorus
Three hours went by and the Mona called
The wind blows hard and the sea runs high
In the morning on Carnusty Beach
The Mona and her crew did lie
Chorus
Five lay drowned in me Chalon there
Two were washed up on the shore
Eight men died when lhe boat capsized
And the eighth is Iost forever more
Remember December ot fifty-nine
The howling wind and driving rain
The men who leave the land behind
And the men who never see land again
Remember December ot fifty-nine
The howling wind and the driving rain
The men who leave the land behind
And the men who never see land again
